Totem Acoustic Bi-Wire Speaker Cables at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada

Totem Acoustic Bi-Wire Speaker Cables are handcrafted speaker cables from Totem Acoustic (Montreal, Canada), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. Constructed from linearized oxygen-free silver-plated conductors in a 14-gauge multi-strand twisted pair configuration, the cables are terminated with WBT plugs at both ends for secure, low-resistance connection to bi-wireable speaker terminals. Thick Teflon dielectric shielding makes the cables impervious to oxidation and physical damage and enables long runs through walls and around rooms without signal degradation. Available in 6, 8, 10, and 12-foot lengths and sold in pairs.

Key Features

• Linearized Oxygen-Free Silver-Plated Conductors: Silver plating on OFC copper optimizes conductivity, minimizes skin effect across the audio frequency range, and prevents oxidation of the conductor surface over time.
• 14-Gauge Multi-Strand Twisted Pair: Heavy-gauge multi-strand construction lowers DC resistance for low-impedance speaker loads and twisted pair geometry reduces electromagnetic interference pickup.
• WBT Plugs: WBT silver-solder-grade terminations provide the same low-resistance, high-conductivity connection standard used in Totem's own speaker crossover construction.
• Thick Teflon Dielectric Shielding: PTFE Teflon jacket eliminates capacitance buildup, resists oxidation, and provides robust physical protection for in-wall or around-room cable routing.
• No Capacitance Buildup: Teflon dielectric maintains consistent cable impedance and preserves high-frequency extension and spatial ability across any cable length.
• FT4 Rated Wiring: Fire-retardant FT4 wiring rating enables safe in-wall cable runs compliant with North American building code requirements.
• Available in 6, 8, 10, and 12-Foot Lengths: Four length options accommodate speaker placement distances from a single bookshelf system to a full multi-channel home theater layout.
• Sold in Pairs: Each order includes two identical cables for a complete stereo left and right channel connection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Totem Acoustic Bi-Wire Speaker Cables?

Totem Acoustic Bi-Wire Speaker Cables are 14-gauge multi-strand twisted pair speaker cables with linearized oxygen-free silver-plated conductors, WBT plug terminations, and thick Teflon dielectric shielding. They are designed for bi-wire connection to Totem speakers with four-way bi-wireable binding posts such as the Bison Monitor, Bison Centre, and Bison Tower. Available in 6, 8, 10, and 12-foot lengths and sold in pairs, with FT4 fire-retardant rating for in-wall installation.

What is the advantage of bi-wiring with these cables?

Bi-wiring connects separate cable runs to the tweeter and woofer binding posts of a speaker, reducing the electrical interaction between the high-frequency and low-frequency driver sections in the crossover. With Totem's four-way bi-wireable speakers such as the Bison Monitor, bi-wiring with these cables allows the tweeter and woofer sections to draw current independently from the amplifier, which can improve bass definition and treble clarity compared to single-wire connection with jumpers.
